RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING
Check the recommended washing marking on
garments. The table below gives useful informa-
tion on suitable washing programs for different
materials and amounts of washing.
COLOURED COTTON
Coloured cotton garments marked with a re-
commendation for 60ºC should the first time
be washed at 60ºC to get rid of any surplus dye.
If this advice is ignored there is a risk that co-
lours will run. Use a detergent without bleach
to safeguard the colours.
DELICATE WASHING
Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen should be washed at 60ºC
using a detergent without bleach or optical
whitening agent. Severely soiled linen can oc-
casionally be washed at a higher temperature,
but not too often because heat can destroy the
lustre and strength of linen.
8 BEFORE WASHING
Before you start washing, here is some advice
that can be useful.
SORTING THE WASHING
Sort garments in relation to:
• How soiled they are
• Colour
• Material
GARMENTS
• Close zip-fasteners so that they do not chafe
against other items.
• New coloured garments can have surplus dye
and should therefore be washed separately the
first time.
• Turn garments inside out.
This reduces the risk of bur-
ling, dye creases, etc.
• Empty pockets and suitably
let them wash turned inside out.
WASHING
LABEL MATERIAL PROGRAM LOAD
Cotton, linen, white and light coloured garments. Normal wash 60° to 95° 1/1
Cotton, linen. Darker coloured garments. Normal wash 60° 1/1
Polyester, cotton/polyester, nylon. White garments. Synthetic wash 60° 1/2
Rayon, acetates, acrylics. Garments with more sensitive colours. Synthetic wash 40° 1/2
Polyester, cotton/polyester, nylon. Coloured garments. Synthetic wash 40° 1/2
Silk and very delicate garments. Synthetic wash 30° 1/3
Garments marked IWS or Superwash Wool/hand wash 40° 1/3
Symbols in washing instructions

10
Wool and silk
Sometimes marked machine wash and someti-
mes hand wash. The Wool/hand wash program
of the machine is at least as gentle as washing by
hand.
Wool in particular is sensitive to mechanical
processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying,
press out the water thoroughly using terry to-
wels. Most garments however can tolerate a
short spin dry.
Synthetic fibre
Garments made of synthetic fibre require suffi-
cient space to avoid creasing. Fill the machine
at half load when washing such items. Select
short spin.
NOTE
Viscose and acetate are brittle when wet.
SUPER RINSE
This washing machine is provided with the Su-
per rinse function. Super rinse adds extra rinses
to your washing program. To the programs
Heavy wash, Normal wash and Light wash four
extra rinses are added. To the others, two rinses
are added. Choose Super rinse ON if at any
time you want especially thorough rinsing.
Use this function also when dyeing any ma-
terial. See chapter 11, Making own washing
programs, to select Super rinse ON.
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY
You can save a lot of energy by not using a more
powerful program than is necessary.
• Choose Super Quick wash, program 3, if you
only need to freshen up garments, eg, shirts and
tracksuits. You will save both water and energy.
• Without increasing the temperature, washing
results can be improved by selecting E2: Eco/
Efficiency ON. You then save energy without
jeopardizing the washing results. See chapter
11, Making own washng programs, to select
E2: Eco/Efficiency ON.
• Select high spin speed to reduce energy con-
sumption when using a tumble dryer or drying
cupboard. See Temporary alterations in chap-
ter 9, Washing.
DETERGENTS
Overdosing detergent will not give better re-
sults, it only increases the burden on the envi-
ronment.
Try using less detergent, and increase the dose
only if you are displeased with the washing re-
sults.
TEXTILE DYEING
If you want to dye textiles in the machine, se-
lect the Normal wash program and the Super
rinse option ON. Choose a temperature accor-
ding to recommendations from the dye maker.
NOTE!
Bleaches or stain removers that contain the che-
mical Na2S2O4, known as sodium dithionite or
sodium hyposulphite, must not be used in this
washing machine. If these substances are used
they could cause corrosion and discoloration.
If the items being dyed are mixed material
cotton/polyester a short spin dry at 800 revs
per minute should also be selected. See chapter

11
11, Making own washing programs (Super rin-
se) and chapter 9, Washing - Temporary altera-
tions (Spin speed), to see how these selections
are made.
NOTE
Put the dye directly in the drum - not in the
detergent compartment. After dyeing, the emp-
ty machine should be run using the same pro-
gramme. Use a normal amount of detergent.
WASHING TIME
The -symbol indicates that the remaining
washing time is shown at the bottom right in
the display within ten minutes after the wash-
ing program starts.
When a program is choosen the washing time
is calculated. The calculated washing time can
vary from time to time due to the temperature
of incoming water.
Before the last rinse the remaining time is
recalculated and can then be decreased or in-
creased.

12
PRESS THE BUTTON
The display will then show the four pre-set pro-
grams. If no button is pressed within three minu-
tes the display will go out. The display will light
again when one of the buttons is pressed. If the
language on the display becomes altered for any
reason, see chapter 13, Trouble shooting.
OPEN THE DOOR
Press the button and put the washing in.
PUTTING IN THE WASHING AND DETERGENT
Follow the recommendations on the detergent
packet for how much detergent should be used.
The capacity of the machine is for 5.5 kg wash-
ing. If you put a smaller amount in the machi-
ne, you can reduce the amount of detergent
accordingly.
The partition piece provided should be used
for liquid detergent only, see below.
Powder detergent
Pour in the powder for main wash ( ) and any
pre-wash ( ), see figure.
Liquid detergent
Underneath the detergent
compartment you will find
a partition piece for liquid
detergent. Take it and in-
9 WASHING
sert it in the slot furthest in in the com- part-
ment as illustrated. Pour the detergent direct
into the main wash compartment ( ).
Detergent ball or dosing bag
If you are using a detergent ball or dosing bag,
load it directly with the washing and select a
programme without pre-wash.
Fabric conditioner
Pour conditioner in the compartment marked
. Follow the maker's instructions.
NOTE
Do not exceed the maximum dose level of the
container, the conditioner will otherwise flow
in too soon and deteriorate the washing effect.
